You must lay some flowers on my grave You must lay some flowers on my grave My mother she is gone Left me in this world alone You must lay some flowers on my grave Now when this old building's falling down Just lay me six feet under ground Wrap me up in solid clay When I go my body stays You must lay some flowers on my grave Put a wreath of flowers at my right side And you'll know that I've been satisfied Put a bouquet on my breast This poor boy's gone to rest You must lay some flowers on my grave You must lay some flowers on my grave You must lay some flowers on my grave My mother she is gone Left me in this world alone You must lay some flowers on my grave Now lay that morning glory at my feet Then you'll know that I have gone to sleep On my head board write my name I leave many hearts in pain You must lay some flowers on my grave You must lay some flowers on my grave You must lay some flowers on my grave My mother she has gone Left me in this world alone You must lay some flowers on my grave Now when this poor boy's dead and gone When I've left this old world alone When you hear that church bell sing When my body's got it's wings You must lay some flowers on my grave (My Bonnie lies over the ocean) (My Bonnie lies over the sea) (My Bonnie lies over the ocean) (So bring back my Bonnie to me)
